Be it known that I, GENEVIEVE ORAWLEY THOMAS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Omaha, in the countyof Douglas and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAudesignate Motor- Caps, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to automobile motor caps, and my object in this, my lnvention, is to provideladies usingv automobiles with caps of becoming appearance and so made that they will be secured on the head w1thout the use of pins, and by appliances that are integral parts of the cap, said appllances being so made that the cap wlll'remain secure on the head, however swiftly the car moves, and despite gusts or strong currentsof wind. I accomplish, such purare secured, the former somewhat shorter than the latter, thus drawing the ends of these "sections toward each other, causing the 'converging eflect.

Parallel to wire, 9 9, whichare' about the l1ead-ban d, this wire becomes located about tween th head-band, and stands a a the same, the corners turning slightly downward. To this, and to the wire, 6, is se cured crinoline, 11, or other suitable mate rial, thus forming a head-band is secured crinoline' or other suitable material. a I At the upper end of the opening, that is, to the lower edge of the crown, or to the material coveringsame, the strap, '13, is se-' cured, being secured at I he covering material. The veil, 14, is passed from the front of the cap around the headband within the revere. It is secured to the headband or the revere around the cap beginning in front.

halfway bepanying drawings, which are herebyfmade a part of this application, in which Figure ,l is an inverted perspective view of the completed hat; Fig. 2is a direct, rear view in elevation, showing the expanded part of the hat; Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the hat, properly trimmed,;- showing the veil loop at the rear of the head, with the veil draped over the hat. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the hat, as shown in Fig. 3, with face ofthe wearer of the hat. a g In Fig. 2', the full lines show the initial form of the hat, and the dotted lines show its form after expansion.
